The motions become second nature when the days run in a natural fashion. Keeping the pace and schedules falling into place and this can feel positive to have no disruptions, but through such pace, moments are lost because the nature of the mind has scaled down to a scheduled pace. The moments within the set motion get closed off once the mind becomes programmed, it's quietly on guard for any disruptions that would alter your task. There is nothing wrong with having a second nature rhythm, but to often it becomes a guarded motion of scheduled misgivings. If the mind is in reflection or focusing ahead there is no place for the present life to be noticed in ones head. The motions that are moving you in the present day will be reflected on as a schedule and nothing felt along the way. Moving forward is not just a motion, it's moments meant to be felt in the present without stuck feelings and focused thoughts of future notions. A balanced pace is progression as long as the pace isn't guarded from making new reflections. Reflections come and go so one can not stare to long and thoughts of a bright future instill hope within, but nothing is gained when moments are guarded by mindful motions engraved within. It's easy to say stop and smell the roses, but even then one must drop the guard and liberate the mind to all the smells of any and all blossoms. Enjoy what is offered within the scheduled motions, fore it's the moments in those motions that will leave an every lasting fragrance, free flowing through life due to ones unguarded ongoing motions. Leave misgivings behind with any guarded motions and take in the moments, so no regrets can appear in your future reflections you'll have through the years.
